Jerusalem
Galit was diagnosed with a large ovarian cyst in July. The surgeon at Jerusalem Community Hospital recommended spinal decompression surgery, and She is scheduled for October. The hospital's financial office gave us a written estimate of $9,250, and after what the government subsidy will pay we're still $5,600 short. my daughter has been in and out of Jerusalem Community Hospital since July. The doctors say a large ovarian cyst will get worse without spinal decompression surgery. We have emptied our savings and borrowed from relatives, but the estimate of $9,250 is more than we can find. While we wait, Galit struggles with daily life and can't walk without help. Her family has taken turns caring for her, and I've cut my own work hours to be there. Recovery is expected to take about 3 weeks. During that time Galit won't be able to walk without help, so the costs keep growing. I'll pay the hospital and pharmacy directly and post every receipt in the updates section. Where the $5,600 goes: โ€ข Surgeon and anesthesia fees: $2,350 โ€ข Hospital stay (5 nights): $1,950 โ€ข Pre-operative tests and imaging: $450 โ€ข Post-operative medication: $200 โ€ข Physiotherapy sessions: $490 โ€ข Travel and lodging for the family: $160 Thanks for reading all this. - Ran
